A MODEL LOCOMOTIVE.

Passenger engine No. $50, designed by
Mr.. A.. j. Cromwell, Superintendent of
Motive Power, Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road Company, has recently been turned
out of the Mt. Glare Shops at Baltimore
and placed in service.
The performances of the new engine
have fully met the expectations of her de-
signer and he has been the recipient of
many congratulations from the officials
of the Traffic and Transportation Depart
ments of the Road.
No. $50 hauled Express Train No. 3,
consisting of three sleeping cars, three
coaches, two baggage cars, one express
car and one postal car, from Baltimore to
Martinsburg, in two hours and fifty-six
minutes, making four stops at stations.
The distance is ia miles, and the running
time was, therefore, made at the rate of
thirty-nine miles per hour, an exceedingly
high rate of speed to maintain with so
large a train and over such grades as in
tervene between Baltimore and Martins
burg.
Two still more remarkable perform
ances by the same engine were made in
taking Limited Express Train No. 5, con-
sisting of one sleeping car, two coaches,
one baggage and one postal car, from
Piedmont to Altamont, II miles, in 43t
minutes, and the same train up Cheat
River grade from dead stop at Rowles-
burg, y miles, in Is minutes. The dis
tances named are all up grade, the former
averaging III feet to the mile, and the
latter 105 feet to the mile.

A PERPLENING FAMILY.
Some Queer Relations Arising from a
Most Peculiar Marriage.

Mr.. L. Osborne, of this city, married his
grandfathers second wife, and they have a
son. Given this simple statement, and a
number of peculiar family relationships may
be deduced. For example, Mr.. Osborne is a
grandchild of his wife. His son being also
son of his (Osborne's) grandmother, is I'M
Gle to his own father. Osborne becomes a
brother to his uncles and aunts, and also a
stepfather to them. The boy, being the child
of Osborne as a grandson, is thereby great
grandson of his own mother, while his father
may rejoice in the title of great-grandfather
to his own child. Thus the boy becomes a
granduncle to himself and his parents great
grandchild. Osborne is the boys father and
great-grandfather at the same time, and be-
ing the husband of his own grandmother en-
joys the distinction of being his own grand
father as we'll.
Osborne's mother married a man named
Blake, and his sister married brother-in-
law of her own mother, Henry Blake. Os
borne's sister becomes sister to her own
mother. Mrs. Blake, being Osborne's
mother is grandmother to Osborne's son.
The latter, however, being son of the wife
of Mrs. Blake's father-in-law, is therefore
a brother to his grandmother, and grand
uncle to his grandmother's sister, the
daughter who married Mrs. Blakes brother
in-law. He also is her nephew, as the son
of her brother. Osborne is the younger Mrs.
Blake's grandfather as well as her brother
Thus her nephew, Osborne's son, becomes
uncle to his aunt, being son of her grand
mother. This series of relationships may
be likewise traced almost indefinitely. The
family are happy and contented, and live as
pleasantly as though the peculiar family ties
were not Decentralization Wis., Journal

An Anecdote of an English Statesman of

His personal purity and independence
have become almost proverbial. They are
attested by a familiar anecdote, which,
though perhaps not strictly authentic, yet
expresses the general sentiment regarding
him. We give it in the form in which it
appeared in pamphlet more than CEN

of Charles ii chose Andrew MARVEL, young
gentleman of little or no fortune, and main
tanned him in London for the service of the
public. His understanding, integrity. and
spirit were dreadful to the infamous admin
istration. Persuaded that he would be theirs

school-fellow, the Lord Treasurer Dandy,

his hand an order upon the treasury for

A sprightly Frenchwoman, driving down
Broadway lately, said. every man we meet

Baron Won Lehren, famous scholar who
visited this country, observed the same Pc

clad and the best housed people in the world;
but the most anxious. They hug possible
calamity to their breasts he wrote of us.
Ofcourse, this is too hasty generalization,
and the criticisms are not so true now as they
were generation ago. Nevertheless, the
disposition to borrow trouble and take life,
not too seriously, but too anxiously, is all
too common.

The true father of the present style of car
toon was Gillray, who fourished in England
at the beginning of the present century. He
drew his pictures upon copper with needle,
after which they were etched. The cartoons
were sold separately at sixpence and
shilling each, and had great sale. Gillray
became immensely popular through his
series of cartoons against Napoleon l, which
exposed him as a usurper and tyrant. 1hese
pictures are said to have bothered Napoleon,
and that even this great man was annoyed
at the wit of mere cartoonist Gillrays
place was filled after his death by Cruik-
shank and he was succeeded by John Leech,
who died in 1865. Since their day the style
of drawing and engraving cartoon has con-
siderably changed. Gillray eighty years ago
drew on copper, Cruikshank fifty years ago
ON steel, and Leech thirty years ago on
wood. Now cartoon is drawn upon stone
with crayon and printed on a photographic
press. When it is in colors it has to go
through the press great many times. The
cartoons of Judge and Puck are run through
six presses-once for the black cartoon, four
times for colors, and once more for the letter
press.

in America, at which time Thomas Mast was
not dreamt of. The only cartoonist then
was J. Mcclellan, who drew for Harper's
Weekly. He died in 1868 or 1864, when Mast
took up cartooning. Before that time he
drew war pictures for Ha,per's Weekly, using
sketches sent in by men at the front. 1t is
said that during the memorable misunder-
standing between Mast and the Harpers he
being under contract, drew his cartoon every
week for almost year, although they were
never published. A gentleman who claims
to have seen these mysterious pictures says
they embrace Nast's best and most char
acteristic work. One of these days they may
be published, when they will undoubtedly
command that serious attention that is always
bestowed upon the work ola great man.

No name in caricature will be longer
remembered than that of Mast. He was
originally an office boy for Frank Leslie,
and began to draw while in his employ.

to go to England to sketch the celebrated

Result of Colored Boys First Attempt
at a Contract.
A little colored boy, not over-intelligent
but full of zeal, called at a house and re-
quested the privilege of removing three bar
rels of rubbish for the sum of twenty cents.
The request was granted, and next morning
the young African appeared in company
with two comrades and push-cart.
When the ashes were about half removed,
a halt was ordered, and the three sable sons
of toll came to the house trembling with
sense of their wrongs.
Lady, didn't you make dat bargain wild

manded the "boss."

ants, II let him hab de use OBJ my kyart.

The question was finally left to the arbi-

financial affairs made him the Solomon of
the neighborhood.
"Pay the boss ten cents, and each of the
workmen five," was his sententious order.
Den l strike, m not low de oder Teller

"'N' mot holp him tote dem barrels ~
said Number Three. So the case was APP
pealed.
The boss, finding that his avarice was
likely to lose him everything, compromised
on seven cents for himself, seven cents for
the owner of the push-cart, and six cents for
the third member; but his digust was eX-
pressed as follows: "Dere amt muffin ter

r. GILLIAN.
F. Gillian, who signs himself "F. Victor"
is the society artist of The Judge, and most of
that papers society hits are made by him.
He is young fellow of about twenty-five,
very retiring in manners, and is seldom seen
in the company of other artists. Leaving
school at fourteen years of age, he went to
work on the Graphic as a sketch artist"
Three years ago he visited Europe and spent
a year in England. Upon his return to New
York he took up social caricature, and has
made such success of it that The Judge
would find it difficult matter to fill his
place, which fact the owners fully appreciate,
as they pay him large salary.
G. e. HAMILTON.
G. r. Hamilton, who does the social car
toons on The Judge, was born in Youngs-
town, Ohio, August, 1861. He learned the
machinist trade with his father, but his nat
ural incinations soon drew him to sign
painting. In November 1882, he received
an offer from the New York Graphic, where
he worked for several months, at the same
time contributing numerous sketches to Life,
